When it comes to Christmas decorating, most of us start with the big three:
the tree,
the wreath,
and the table.
But some of the most magical touches happen in the unexpected places; the overlooked corners, little shelves and everyday spots that suddenly feel extra-special with a hint of festive greenery.
If you’re craving a Christmas home that feels warm, welcoming and beautifully put together (without going full Santa’s grotto), here are some of our favourite ways to weave in bouquets, planters and arrangements throughout your space.
A Festive First Impression
The hallway is the first thing you and your guests see and yet it’s so often forgotten.
A small winter bouquet or a seasonal planter on a console table or even a wreath over a hallway mirror instantly sets the tone. Take a look at our Winterberry design and Copper Kiss bouquet to achieve this welcoming look.
Choose a seasonal candle such as The Naked Candle Co’s Nordic Forest or Orange and Clove to bring that unmistakable Christmas scent drifting through the door. It’s an easy win… and one that makes a world of difference.
Heart of the Home
We spend half of December in the kitchen, baking, hosting, grazing, chatting. So why not make it festive too?
A glorious seasonal arrangement on the island, a mini tree positioned by leaning chopping boards or a seasonal planter by the sink brings instant festive feels.
Think long-lasting ingredients like winter berries, ilex, eucalyptus and seasonal greenery, all captured perfectly in our Merry Berry Christmas bouquet.
Something for Sofa Season
If garlands aren’t your thing, a simple vase arrangement using our Festive Foliage or a cluster of bud vases on a living room mantel is a great alternative to add texture and warmth.
Pair with tapered candles and your favourite Christmas ornaments to create a look that feels calm, cosy and collected. Check out our Trio of Christmas Vases.
Festive Shelfie
Shelves, bookcases and alcoves offer some of the best small but mighty styling opportunities.
Layer a petite planter or posy between stacked books, framed photos and candles. The mix of greenery and personal pieces creates depth and a soft, curated feel, without the clutter.
Your Bedroom Wants In
Festive décor doesn’t need to stop at the living spaces. A delicate winter posy on your bedside table or chest of drawers adds a restful, nature-inspired touch. You could even hang a stunning wreath above your headboard.
Whites, greens and soft blush tones work beautifully here. Check out the serene, calming and quietly Christmassy Pure Blush Posy Jar and White Christmas Bouquet for just the thing.
Tiny Touches for Tiny Rooms
Unexpected yes… but a tiny bud vase or mini planter in the bathroom can make the whole space feel more considered. Anything with eucalyptus is particularly good for the bathroom as the heat and steam help release its glorious and soothing scent.
Coffee Table Cosiness
A textured bouquet or candle arrangement on the coffee table creates a wonderful focal point. Style it with a tray, a candle and a couple of stacked books for that effortlessly pulled-together winter look. We recommend you take a look at our Table Centres in Cranberry Red, Warm Latte or Winter White.
The beauty is in the little touches
Christmas magic isn’t only in the big gestures, it’s in the small, unexpected moments of warmth and texture that make your home feel cosy, inviting and personal.
